I could tell he was looking at me, and it felt good to know he was looking at me and me alone. Knowing his brain was filled with thoughts of me right now was the farthest this from being bad right now, and I basked in the felling that those blue eyes were fixed on me. I know his mouth is slightly open in that way when something made him very mad, very happy, or the very rare confused. And I defiantly know one of his eyebrows is arched high over one of his icy blue eyes.

I had let it flow right off my lounge, said it like it was most natural thing to say in the world. A smile had started to curl at the corners of my mouth when I thought of saying it, and it had only taken a few seconds for my tongue and lips to work together and form the words in the short and simple sentence. They hadn't been forced and it wasn't a slip up like some of the other things I had said to him, I had meant it and after the sounds had taken shape and produced words I didn't want to take them back or cover up what I has said.

I had watched his reaction for only a moment before I turned my head to the right to hide the smirk making itself known on my face. I could hear him shift slightly in his chair and I turned even more and looked down around my desk to find all of my personal belongings. If I wanted my brave words to have the lasting effect like I wanted them to I needed to get out of that office as fast as I could.

I did feel proud of what I said, that instead of him confusing me with one of his jokes or some little tidbit from his personal life revealed to me leaving me speechless and wondering for days, that I had been the one doing the confusing. This time he was speechless and I know he'll be wondering about it for days, at least.

I pull my purse out from under the small shelf sitting beside my desk then pick up the last few files and papers I need to bring home to work on before I give my computer the command to shut off. I could hear him shift slightly in his chair as the wheels on the bottom of his chair rubbed against the carpet of the floor.

I stood up quickly and smooth out the wrinkles that had gained their presence while I was sitting. I hear his chair creek slightly and he's standing up, only a few feet away from me. I move my feet, one after another over the soft blue colored carpet.

I give my hips just a little extra swing as I walk to the elevator. I've done it before when I'm around him, but I never know for a fact that he's looking at me, he always beings out that more feminine part of me. I just like to think that some day, I might be able to sway his opinion on romance between agents.
